Hello Megan, I enjoyed reading through your post! I think you're right! I also believe that the ad you chose is showcasing all of the mistakes he's made.... therefore, he's not fit enough to be our president. Whoever made that ad was definitely creative and i'm sure it worked and turned many people against Jackson.

I like how you mention Jackson's past. I agree that because he was in so many duels people who liked leaders that were more confrontational would still have supported him. I also think that the fact people saw him as "a leader of plain frontier folk" (chapter 9 section IV) would also help gain supporters.

The ad shows a list of crimes people are saying Andrew Jackson committed. I believe the ad is trying to say that electing Jackson would be a mistake because of how many crimes he's committed and that he's bad for the country. I think this ad would be affects because it tells of crimes and how many people he's killed. In the text book chapter 9 section I, it does mention that Jackson was in many duels which might have made people think he's hot headed and prone to violence which would have been unappealing for a leader.

Hey Abby, I agree with you saying that this ad shows how hard Jackson worked for everyone during the war. As mentioned in American Yawp Chapter 9 Section IV, "he also defeated a large British invasion force at the Battle of New Orleans", referencing Jackson's astonishing victory where he caused more than two thousand British casualties. This also relates to the ad that you chose because it shows how capable he was of winning important conflicts and how he prioritized the success of the American people, something that hundreds of thousands of Americans would vote for in the election.

This ad shows Andrew Jackson violently stabbing a man with a sword who was trying to defend himself. I believe this ad is against Andrew Jackson, depicting him to be too violent and dangerous to lead the American people. Therefore, the ad would be in support of Jackson's political rival John Quincy Adams.

As mentioned in American Yawp Chapter 9 Section 1, "the duel in Logan County, Kentucky, was one of many that Jackson fought during the course of his long and highly controversial career." This shows that Jackson's violent history (which is reflected in the ad) may have been worrisome for some Americans, prompting voters of the 1828 election to vote for Adams instead. I believe this ad would be effective for people already in support of Adams, however, Americans that preferred a strong leader with war history may have interpreted this ad as showing Jackson as a strong leader and someone who wouldn't let anyone disrespect the United States.

Karissa, I liked your post, and I agree that this was a simple ad that would work to gain more voters and spread his message.

This ad shows a campaign poster for Andrew Jackson during his election. This ad is telling the people that he worked hard for everyone during the war and that he was strong before and will help people grow. I think this ad is saying that the election of 1828 is going to be a close election and that the voters need to think through what they are doing. I think this ad would be affective, it reminds voters his connection to the people, and his military victories and how he went to rally the troops and what that did for not only the soldiers but also the common people.

Andrew Jackson's election ticket from 1828.

This ad shows Andrew Jackson's election ticket in 1828. This ad supports Jackson aka the new Democratic Party. This ad simply showcased Jacksons slogan and his party to help spread the word about his presidential election. In other words try and get votes to win. I personally think these tickets worked and achieved in reaching more people to vote for him.

After watching "War and Politics in the Early 1800s" part 1 and looking at the 1828 election ads make TWO posts:

ONE: Choose one of the political ads and create a post including:

-         A screenshot of your chosen ad

-         Who you believe the ad shows and who it supports

-         What you believe the ad is trying to say about the election of 1828

-         How effective you think the ad would be to the voters of the 1820s

-         Be sure to include some piece of evidence from the textbook or lecture

(Each cartoon may be used by only one group member)

TWO: Make a substantive reply to another group member’s post. You may agree, disagree or expand on what they say. Like all posts, however, remember to tie it directly to evidence from the documents.

Be sure to put your name in the title of both of your posts!
